Michele Bachmann: 'Gays Have Bullied The American People'

Welcome back (once again) to the bizarro world of Republican congresswoman and former Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann.

In a seeming attempt to remind us how detached she is from reality Bachmann has now attacked the role of gays in the defeat of SB 1062 in Arizona, the legislation that would have allowed individuals to deny service to gays based on religious protections.

Speaking about the bill's downfall to radio host Lars Larson during the Conservative Political Action Conference, Bachmann says:

"There's nothing about gays in there. But the gay community decided to make this their measure," Bachmann said. "I think the thing that is getting a little tiresome, the gay community, they have so bullied the American people, and they've so intimidated politicians. The politicians fear them, so that they think they get to dictate the agenda everywhere."

WRONG!!!! It's the other way around! How many times have u heard about a straight person getting bullied by a gay??! Plenty of the gays getting bullied but the straight community! Why? Because that can't come to the fact that the gay population is strong and better as one then the straight community. They always fuck up things not the gays. EAT THAT MICHELE BACHMANN

If something cannot put money in the Republican's pocket, they are against it. I think gays should have rights like anyone else, just because they are gay does not mean they are different than any other American citizen. People need to stop singling people out because of their sexual preference, color or religious preferences. There is only one race in the world & that is the human race, we are sadly losing that one.

I also wonder whether she intentionally differentiated between gays and the American people when she said "the gay community...they have so bullied the American people." I thought some Americans were gay.

Not only does she not know anything about the definition of bullying...it has been the other way around...Gay's have been the one's who have been bullied, made fun of, treated differently, and are finally having the freedom to live their lives the way they want. My sister who has been with her partner for 11 years was finally allowed to get married in NY. There was no reason as to why her and millions of others had to wait. And Bachmann wants to blame the gays for bullying. I blame her. She is an idiot.
